Details

Hampton Art Lovers proudly presents the Point Comfort Art Fair + Show, an extraordinary event taking place in Historic Overtown at the renowned Historic Ward Rooming House during Miami Art Week. This year's event, happening from December 7th to December 10th, promises to be an immersive experience celebrating art, culture, and community. The theme for Point Comfort Art Fair + Show 2023 is "Be For the Culture/Before the Culture: Celebrating Hip Hop's Golden Jubilee" - a tribute to the 50th anniversary of hip hop. The curated collection showcases the works of talented artists such as Basil Watson, Damien Mathis, and Judy Bowman, among others. A special highlight of the event is the installation of paintings by the legendary Hon. George Clinton, the Godfather of Funk and a true pioneer of hip hop's musical foundation. The name "Point Comfort" pays homage to the place in colonial Virginia where the first captives from the West African Kingdom of Ndongo arrived in 1619. The event aims to honor the enduring legacy of African-American traditions and their expression through art, dance, and music. Point Comfort Art Fair + Show is not just an art exhibition; it's a multi-dimensional experience designed to tell the powerful narrative of the African-American experience. With the support of esteemed sponsors such as the City of Miami Southeast Overtown/Park West Community Revitalization Agency, Art of Black, and the Greater Miami Convention & Tourism Bureau, this event aims to provide a platform for African-American masters of American fine art, while also attracting art professionals, collectors, and patrons from around the world. Don't miss the chance to be a part of this historic celebration of art and culture. Admission is free, so mark your calendars for Point Comfort Art Fair + Show 2023 at the Historic Ward Rooming House.
